Since a few weeks ago, I started to get problems with my RAM. I have 16gb of DDR4 but my games keep crashing when I have my internet browser opened (either Chrome or Firefox). I checked my Task Manager and it shows 100% usage for a brief second and then force close the game (and then goes back to normal). I did a memory check with Windows (using 10) but it didn't detect any problem. Also, my pc detects all 16 of my available RAM.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this/experienced similar problems?

 

My build is:

ASUS Z170-A
Intel Core i5 6600k

Cooler Master Seidon 120V

Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2133Mhz

I would try the Heaven by Unigen along with MemTest86.  The Heaven would put a load on it while testing with MemTest86.  That way you should be able to get a good feeling for the ram while it is under serious load.
